FOUNDED ON 

Solar and Personal Magnetism 

1897. BY F. B. ORMSBY 

Chicago 

The Pyramid-Cube University is the outgrowth — an evolu- 
tion — resulting from long years of research in the study of 
Natural Law — the finer forces that relate the varied mani- 
festations of life to each other and to the primal cause that 
underlies each and every phenomenon in this vast realm of 
being. 



Make your city a university center. 

Have a university in your midst. 

Here is your opportunity. 

Offers every child a university training. 

Gives every person a university association. 

Brings every branch of learning to your door. 

Opens up a new life in your community. 

Makes you equal with other university centers. 

Enables your boys and your girls to compete with the 
world in matters of education and culture. 

Benjamin Franklin said: ''If a man empties his purse into 
his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment 
in knowledge always pays the best interest." 

Every child should have the advantages of a University 
education. It is due every person, young and old, to have 
the opportunity to frequently visit a University. 

This University differs from all other institutions of learn- 
ing in that the basis of its work rests upon the law of causa- 
tion, an unchangeable and eternal principle, that connects 
phenomena to Infinite Energy — Force, Life. 

The condition of the world is such that there appears to 
be no fixed basis for thought. Every department of learning 
is burdened with theoretical speculation that conveys no defi- 
nite information to one in search of truth, and which tends 
to mold the mentality of man in a cast of indecision, doubt, 
fear and irreverence for truth. 

To meet the demand for a short, quick method of charac- 
ter reading at sight, the Pyramid-Cube University issues for 
its students this volume, containing the text of a simple and 
comprehensive study of human nature — traits, tendencies, 
capabilities, vocational adaptation, co-ordinations, auric col- 
ors and gems; with numerous sidelights on the development 
of the higher faculties of being leading to truth, knowledge of 
self, understanding of human nature, and the attainment of 
Wisdom and Success. 

The book is furnished with or without the extra test les- 
sons given by correspondence. University Degree S. C. D. 
(Sight Character Delineator) conferred on those who take 
the complete course and pass the final examination. Terms 
for complete course on request. /r»\nt . ^ rw* *

Human Nature Study Is a Revelation 

Every Person's Life Is a Mystery Without 

This Revelation 

Knowledge of self is the highest attainment. To know the 
nature, temperament, physical and mental characteristics 
and adaptability of a child the moment it is born is one of 
the greatest achievements of man. 

No other knowledge thus far evolved sheds so much light 
along the pathway of human endeavor. 

It inspires confidence, promotes health, banishes fear and 
eliminates disease. 

It solves the mystery of the new born babe and places its 
life clearly under the intelligent guidance of its parents. 

It tells what to do with the boys. 

It tells what to do with the girls. 

It forewarns and forearms at every step in life. 

It saves time, money, worry, adult and infantile suffering. 

It makes for harmony, peace, pleasure and greater pros- 
perity.

The Solar Symbol. Diagram 1 

Carved in the stone floor of the Great Pyramid of Giza, 
the ancients made an enduring record of the Zodiac, the 
only carvings within and without this wonderful structure, 
discovered and decipherable by man at the present time. 
This fact should arrest the attention of every thinker and 
reasoner seeking the truths of nature. 

So accurate, scientific and far-reaching in its scope and 
application in the attainment of knowledge, it may, without 
fear of contradiction, be claimed as the Sages' Key to the 
secrets of nature's finer forces and the relation of man 
thereto. 

In the study of human nature therefore, this symbol is 
necessarily basic to the correct analysis and comprehension 
of personal attributes, character, qualifications, adaptations, 
and all that personality means in the manifestation of indi- 
vidual being. 

Expressing in symbolic form the operation of nature in 
the clustering of organized matter-protoplasm — in the causa- 
tion and evolution of forms — it is divided into twelve sec- 
tions or fields, showing the principle and action of radiant 
energy emanating from the sun, the center of our solar 
system. 

These twelve fields being constantly charged with solar 
magnetic vibrations from this center, and stimulated by the 
ever moving and changing radio-activity of the several 
planets within the solar circle; which movements and 
changes from field to field produce varying activities and 
effects, brings us to the logical conclusion that the phe- 
nomena of life must in some way be linked and affected by 
such an array of magnetic power. 

Studious minds, thru ages of time, discovered certain 
qualities and effects upon life and character; and these find- 
ings were recorded and handed down from generation to 
generation, evolving the while the deeper knowledge and 
understanding which finally led to the discovery of the 
science of Solar Magnetics. 

The truths given in this course — the system employed — 
is a result which untold thousands of years of patient re- 
search and demonstration made possible. Therefore, the 
author and discoverer of the principle and science of Solar 
Magnetics has reconstructed the system and study of life 
and character, simplified the method of procedure and appli- 
cation, and brot within the grasp and comprehension of the 
average mind this sublime science. 



THE SAGE'S KEY TO 



NOTE: Honest criticism is sometimes in order, to cor- 
rect erroneous ideas in the study of things scientific; and 
without reflection on those who have attempted to fathom 
the science of life and character and present a system for 
the elucidation of the subject, the author desires that the 
science as herein presented shall be compared and tested 
with the view to bringing more clearly to mind the fact that 
many works are in circulation which are erroneously con- 
structed. Chief among the errors are the readings given 
relative to the sign of birth and the elemental character 
thereof. To say that one born in the sign Aries is ruled by 
the sign Libra, is erroneous. To say that such a one is 
born in the element air is contrary to the fact. Therefore, 
with the zodiacal chart and the delineations in accord with 
science as herewith presented, one may see at a glance that 
this work, tho contrary to others, is scientifically correct. 
By this system one is in a position to get right. 

The zodiac shows the twelve divisions or magnetic fields 
and the main points of the figure: fire, earth, air, water, as 
to their elemental character; and mental, vital and neutral 
physiological designations; as well as the division into quar- 
ters: — quarter of love, quarter of knowledge, quarter of 
wealth, and quarter of labor; thus giving to the zodiac three 
distinct divisions representing the figure in its specific as- 
pects as a symbol of solar functions, conditions, influence 
and general bearing as a key to the mysteries of life and 
character. 

When the earth is passing thru one of these twelve signs, 
all births that occur during this period of about thirty days, 
must of necessity be related to this particular field, element, 
quarter and physiological nature of said section of the circle. 
The sun, moon and planets, and all the forces of nature 
stimulate the elemental quality of the sign or field. There- 
fore, those born while the earth is in the sign Aries are born 
in the element Fire, the function of the head, a Mental divi- 
sion, and in the quarter of social life, called the quarter of 
love. 

The time of the earth's entry into the several signs varies 
somewhat from year to year; sometimes a little later and 
sometimes a little earlier, owing to variations in the degrees 
of a circle and the number of days, hours and minutes con- 
stituting the year. 

Approximate dates of entry and leaving the signs is given 
to show the movement of the earth thru the twelve solar 
fields during the year:

With the foregoing explanation of the signs, quarters and 
natures of each field, the correct positions and relatedness 
of births are scientifically established. 

Individuality and Personality 
Duality of Being 

Every person is Dual in character and manifestation. 
Each one possesses an inner being, comprising hidden qual- 
ities, resources, tendencies, capabilities and many distinct 
characteristics, which a complete horoscopic study alone 
brings to light. Each one also has a Personality dominated 
by environment, education, training and habits, built up to a 
state of activity which may readily be discerned and analyzed 
thru observation of form, features, carriage, head, hands, 
and movements, in the expression — the manifestation — of 
being. 

The sign of. birth relates to Individuality; but the Person- 
ality, the appearance, the expression, the way Individuality 
will be surcharged by the mighty powers of the solar field 
and urged on in its evolutionary development and manifesta- 
tion in Personality, is determined by the sign of the East, 
the Rising sign at the time of day the birth occurs. There- 
fore, a simple diagram (See No 1), is given that makes it 
easy for one to locate the rising sign. Thus the sign of 
birth determines feeling, emotion, desire — the things contem- 
plated and hoped for, while the Rising sign determines the 
form, features, mental poise and expression — the Person- 
ality manifestation; and from the latter, that which is of the 
surface and observable, the art of sight reading takes its 
cue. 



10 THE SAGE'S KEY TO 



Locating the Rising Sign 

To find the Rising sign, and approximately the degree of 
the sign rising at any given time of the day of birth, refer 
to diagram The Solar Symbol and note the following points 
and application. The, figure illustrates the Rising sign of 
one born on the first day of January. The earth is at ten 
degrees of the sign Cancer. A line from the date in circle, 
January first, extends thru the center of the earth and sun 
to the opposite side ending with a diamond point. A dia- 
mond point is also shown at the other end inside the day 
circle, and these diamonds point to the divisions in black 
and white denoting five degrees each, which divide each sign 
consisting of thirty degrees into five degree units, or units 
of the three hundred and sixty degrees of the complete 
circle. The date point also shows the beginning of the day 
at Midnight. 

The second line is drawn at square angle or ninety degrees 
with an arrow point. Now suppose the . time of day on 
January first at which the birth occurred to be midnight, or 
the first minute of the first hour of the day January first. 
As midnight is always opposite the sun point and in direct 
line from the center of the earth to date of birth, the dia- 
mond at January first shows the zenith or overhead point 
at the time, midnight. The Eastern angle by reason of the 
earth turning on its axis always toward the east (see dart), 
figuring from centers, would be ninety degrees to the east. 
The diamond near the midnight point shows ten degrees 
of the sign Cancer, hence ninety degrees east brings the 
Arrow point to ten degrees of Libra, the Rising sign and 
degree of the sign for the day, hour and, practically, the 
minute of birth, midnight. 

As the signs of the zodiac each represent two hours of 
time, it will be seen that if the birth occurs February first, 
the earth would be about ten degrees in the sign Leo and 
the diamond point would be in line with February first and 
thus throw the Arrow point to about ten degrees of the 
sign Scorpio, the Rising sign and degree of midnight on 
that date. 

Thus the principle applies around the circle. But suppose 
the time of birth on January first to be two A. M. The 
midnight point would still remain the same and all that is 
required is to count fifteen degrees for each hour past mid- 
night, which in this instance would be thirty degrees for 
two hours, and take the degree then overhead, which woul i 
be ten degrees of Leo. This shows the zenith or overhead 
point for two A. M., and by counting ninety degrees or three 
signs in the direction of the Arrow point, it would place the 
Rising degree ten of the sign Scorpio. 

By simply drawing a line thru the center of the sun and 
earth to the day of birth for any day of the year a definite 
scientific basis is formed which enables one to locate the 
Rising sign any day, hour and approximately the minute. 



CHARACTER AT SIGHT 11 



NOTE — For convenience, after one becomes familiar with 
the principle and application, one may count from the Mid- 
night point forward until noon, thus covering the A. M. 
division of the day. After noon or beginning at noon, the 
opposite diamond point may be taken for the degree count, 
and thus save one-half in time of reaching the Rising sign 
and degree. 

For example: If on January first the birth time was four 
P. M. begin the degree count at the diamond point shown 
in Capricornus, ten degrees, and fifteen degrees for each 
four hours after noon would bring the zenith, the point over- 
head, at sixty degrees on from the diamond point or to ten 
degrees of the sign Pisces. Ten degrees of Pisces would 
be the time point of the birth. Now counting ninety degrees 
farther gives the Rising point for four P. M f which would 
be ten degrees of the sign Gemini. 

Remember that four minutes of time equals one degree 
of space; a birth point or any point on the surface moving 
forward one degree every four minutes; this being the speed 
of the axial rotation of the earth. 

The lines shown in this system represent Concentric An- 
gles of the Zenith, Nadir and rising sign — a feature of the 
Heliocentric principle in the science of solar magnetics. 

NOTE — What is known and used as the Geocentric point 
rising at any given time varies a few degrees from the 
Heliocentric showing; and to determine this variation it is 
necessary to consider Latitude in connection with the time 
of birth, which requires more technical study and mathemat- 
ical knowledge. It may be stated in a general way, how- 
ever, that the Geocentric point rising is a few degrees 
farther along than is shown by the arrow from June 22 to 
December 22, and correspondingly farther back toward the 
zenith from December 22, to June 22. The variations extend 
from the equator to the poles. They are too technical for 
this simple course. 

TO SUMMARIZE. 

The foregoing explanations show: 

1. The solar symbol — the Zodiac. 

2. The twelve solar magnetic fields. 

3. The elemental character of the several fields. 

4. The Physiological and mental qualities. 

5. The four quarters of the solar circle. 

6. The Concentric angles — the zenith and the east. 

7. Illustrations of the Rising sign. 

8. Concentric and Geocentric variations. 

With these essential points relative to the zodiac we come 
to the consideration of man, the human race, and his rela- 
tion to this solar configuration. 

Like the zodiac, man is composed of twelve functional 
divisions or departments of being. Each function is mag- 
netically related to one of the signs, and this relationship 
is fixed in the eternal law of causation — cause and effect — - 
and has come to us in this symbolic figure from the ancients 
and is always found to be correct.

Capricornus, Mental, Earth, Knees — Cords — Joints — Bones. 

Aquarius, Vital, Air, Calves — Shins. 

Pisces, Neutral, Water, Feet. 

Each function being circumscribed by one of the solar 
magnetic fields partakes of the magnetic quality and char- 
acter of the field; and the place or sign of birth, the sign or 
field in which the earth is moving on any given date of birth, 
is the physiological magnetic center and function of being. 
Around and upon this birth functional center all of the forces 
of the solar field and all other forces universal, act and pro- 
duce effects. From this function the radiations, and mani- 
festations of being emanate and express the life currents of 
nature in Personality. 

Therefore, man is an epitomy, a finite manifestation, of 
Infinite life; an image of the vibrations and forces of the 
Infinite. Thus, "In his own image, " and in this manner 
"God," Nature, in the universal laboratory, spontaneously 
created life, and man evolved as the Master mind. 

Reading Character. 

The foregoing fundamentals are essential to the correct 
understanding of the science of life and to the Art of read- 
ing character at sight. Errors are unavoidable without this 
basic foundation upon which to form an analysis and judg- 
ment. 

When the day and time of birth is known a very interest- 
ing and comprehensive study of the signs and elemental 
influences may be made relating to character and the general 
attributes of being. 

The Birth sign delineations are condensed in simple form 
to show the leading points to be found in the application of 
the system or art of reading character from the Birth sign — 
the day of birth. 

NOTE — Many persons do not know their hour or minute 
of birth, in which case, the Birth Sign alone may be used to 
delineate the general nature and leading traits of character. 



CHARACTER AT SIGHT 13 



Birth Sign Delineation 

Individuality. 

ARIES— September 22 to October 23. 

If born any time from September 22 to October 23, your 
Birth Sign is Aries, the positive, mental, fiery sign and field 
of the social quarter of the solar circle, relating to the front 
brain, and symbolized by the Ram. This shows that you are 
a deep thinker and reasoner; independent in thot and action; 
with a strong will; intense feeling; imaginative; idealistic; 
intuitive, penetrating, analytical, zealous, intellectual, cour- 
ageous, self reliant; voluble; brilliant in conversation, and 
endowed with the gift of vision or clairvoyance, which makes 
you an apt student of human nature, quick in penetrating the 
surface appearances of things and drawing pointed decisions, 
indicative of unusual ability to read character at sight. 
You delight in change and new sensations; you are per- 
sistent and progressive; possess much self esteem and love 
admiration; you admire the beautiful in all that pertains to 
the higher manifestation of life. 

Aries relates to the function of the front brain; hence, this 
function is the magnetic center of your being; this shows 
that you dwell much and long upon all important matters 
that attract your attention; therefore, you are ever seeking 
relief, an outlet, for the mind, which is overly stimulated by 
a constant rush of ideas, impressions, that lead you here and 
there in many and varied undertakings. Being rangy in 
thot and inclined to venture, gives you a wide experience 
and general education in many lines, making you an apt 
scholar with ability to lead and direct others in various occu- 
pational departments of business and finance. You resent 
dictation. You can be led by logic, but seldom driven. 

VOCATIONAL ADAPTATION. You belong in the 
lines of promotion, traveling, soliciting, advertising, archi- 
tecture, engineering, surveying, the profession of law, drug- 
less healing, teaching, lecturing, and such vocations as are 
termed mental occupations. Your complete personal horo- 
scope must be consulted to learn which of these vocations 
is the most promising for success. Opportunity in mentioned 
lines should arrest your attention- 

HEALTH. The function of the brain being extremely 
sensitive and high-strung, subjects you to afflictions such as 
headaches, brain fever, neuralgia, and ailments that come 
from undue mental excitement and strain. The constitution 
is strong, and with no severe planetary interferences, longev- 
ity is assured. Care in diet, exercise and elimination will 
usually overcome these afflictions and insure good health. 

CO-ORDINATIONS. In "business, marriage and social 
life, you harmonize best with those born in the signs Gemini, 
Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius. 

Your Astral gem or birth-stone is the opal, which suggests 
personal decorations in harmony therewith — jewelry, ties, 
colors and figurings in apparel — that make for focalization 
of the magnetic aura of being and a more tidy and dressy 
appearance. 



14 THE SAGE'S KEY TO 



Birth Sign Delineation 

Individuality. 

TAURUS. October 23 to November 22. 

If born any time from October 23 to November 22 your 
birth sign is Taurus, the vital, earthy sign of the quarter of 
love, relating to the function of the nerves, the back brain 
and seat of the nervous system; symbolized by the bull. 
This shows that you possess a highly nervous and vital tem- 
perament, which makes you keen and sensitive^ physically 
intense and high-strung; with a somewhat rigid and set 
mentality; holding stubbornly to your theories and opinions; 
unswerving in your course of action; contemplative and fixed 
in purpose; argumentative when opposed; but easily softened 
and led by sympathy, kindness and, especially, affection. 
The mind dwells much on the physical things of life — prop- 
erty, wealth, accumulation, good things to eat, and such 
things as bring pleasure and gratification to the senses. 
You take life quite seriously. Everything is vital and im- 
portant. You possess much daring and tend to rush blindly 
into schemes rather than waiting to work out a well con- 
ceived plan. You are inclined to be somewhat slow in ex- 
pression and action, but when aroused you are highly ex- 
citable, vehement and pugnacious. Pride and ambition are 
leading traits of character. Your nerve and daring often 
lead to unusual experiences. 

VOCATipNAL ADAPTATION. You belong in the 
larger, heavier lines of commercial enterprise, such as manu- 
facturing, jobbing, building, shipping, and allied business in- 
terests. You co-ordinate with large undertakings in the 
capacity of carrying out plans and producing results. Posi- 
tions with such interests and investments in such lines are 
favorable for success. 

HEALTH. As the sign Taurus relates to the function 
of the nervous system, the back of the head and neck is the 
chief point of attack when afflictions come that tend to 
upset the circulation. Chills, and nervous ailments, which 
sometimes extend thruout the system, are the main things 
to guard against. Pains in the back of the head and neck 
are the danger signals. Magnetic and osteopathic treat- 
ments are the safest and most beneficial as a means of 
quick relief. The appetite being keen should be curbed. 
Rich foods and overeating is the usual aggravation that en- 
dangers health. 

CO-ORDINATIONS. In business, marriage and social 
life, you co-ordinate best with those born in the signs Can- 
cer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricornus and Pisces. Success in 
business is enhanced by proper co-ordination. 

Your Astral gem or birthstone is the topaz. Focalize your 
magnetic currents with this gem and you will make a better 
impression on every one you meet. All decorations should 
harmonize with this stone.

GEMINI— November 22 to December 21. 

If born any time from November 22 to December 21, your 
birth sign is Gemini; the neutral, airy division of the social 
quarter relating- to the lungs, and symbolized by the twins, 
the union of life, the home. This sign of birth shows that 
you are negative, impressional, intuitive, keenly psychic, 
sensitive and quick; impulsive, excitable, changeable; and 
you take on the condition round about you in a way that 
enables you to feel and analyze the hidden meanings and 
states of people and things you contact. You take on and 
throw off conditions rapidly; thus you become one with your 
surroundings, and every change and variation in magnetic 
effects is productive of sensations, good or otherwise, in 
sympathetic accord therewith. You are dual in nature in 
that you are overly credulous at times and at other times 
quite the reverse. Your keen psychic qualities keep you in 
a highly keyed and responsive state, that enables you to 
analyze and read character and diagnose mental and physical 
ailments at sight. You are versatile, optimistic and capable 
to give advice and relief to those in distress. Your psychic 
powers are far above the average, and by careful develop- 
ment such gifts may be turned to a useful purpose in the 
demonstration of the finer forces — the soul consciousness. 

VOCATIONAL ADAPTATION. Being endowed with 
such highly psychic qualities, you belong in some occupation 
of the lighter and finer sort, in which detail and delicacy 
constitute the essential features — jewelry, laces, toilet ar- 
ticles, notions, pictures, pottery, painting, sculpture, fine and 
delicate machinery and appliances, art goods, literature, 
books, needle work, arts and crafts goods, and similar lines. 
Bookkeeping, journalism, pubJic speaking, stenography, mil- 
linery, decorations and music, are also among the vocations 
in harmony with your natural talents. A selection, according 
to environment and opportunity, from this list of adapta- 
tions, will bring desirable results. 

HEALTH. Delicate in constitution, changeable, yielding, 
receptive and impressional, the tendency is to take on all 
manner of ills of the lesser sort that affect the nerves and 
produce lassitude and depression. However, conditions are 
rapidly thrown off, hence, there is seldom any danger from 
such experiences. Neurasthenia and lung affections are the 
chief severe afflictions to guard against. Only when the 
planets, shown in the complete horoscope, form extreme 
combinations, is there any serious trouble. 

CO-ORDINATIONS. In business, marriage and social 
life, you co-ordinate and harmonize best with those born in 
Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius and Aries. 

Your Astral gem or birth stone is the turquoise. Per- 
sonal adornments — pins, ties, rings, designs, colors and fab- 
rics, in harmony with the turquoise, amplify your powers.

CANCER — December 21 to January 20. 

If born any time from December 21 to January 20, your 
birth sign is Cancer; the strong, mental, watery sign of the 
quarter of knowledge; relating to the chest, the arterial sys- 
tem and framework of the body, symbolized by the crab. 
This shows that you possess a strong mental nature, some- 
what aggressive, resourceful, expressive and voluminous in 
speech. You have a strong will and a persevering intellec- 
tual bent. You are easily irritated and you naturally express 
freely your likes and dislikes relative to persons and things 
in general. You readily become interested in cults and isms 
— something new for the mind to feast upon. You have a 
strong constitution conducive to longevity. You enjoy de- 
bate, and all intellectual controversies attract your attention. 
Being active and rangy in thot you are an apt student of 
up-to-date developments in the business and educational 
fields. Your strong mentality makes you somewhat domi- 
neering and stubbornly opinionative. You seek knowledge 
relative to your interests with the view to becoming master 
of its details and possibilities. You are philosophical, an- 
alytical, technical, persistent and unyielding except under 
the good graces of the opposite sex. You desire to be at 
the top in all matters relative to business and social life. 

VOCATIONAL ADAPTATION. Your mentality sug- 
gests intellectual pursuits — teaching, law, medicine, specula- 
tion, brokerage, commission, insurance, buying and shipping, 
the managerial position in corporate institutions, in govern- 
ment, banking and such lines as call for rangy intellectual 
ability. Some of the lesser lines of trade may be entered 
into safely, but unless the planets of your birth are favor- 
able, large enterprises involving financial responsibility, 
should be considered with caution and reserve. Continuity 
is not especially marked, hence, accumulation in the business 
sphere comes only by persistent and continuous effort along 
some adaptable line. Deals that turn quickly are more in 
keeping with your business qualifications. 

HEALTH. Your sign of birth denotes a strong physical 
as well as mental constitution; therefore, you are not easily 
cut down by physical ailments of the ordinary kind. Your 
chest being your magnetic center, this section is more read- 
ily affected when the stars line up for cross-current irrita- 
tions with which you specifically co-ordinate. Congestion, 
pneumonia, arterial and cancerous accumulations are the 
things to guard against; which may be minimized by simple 
diet and abstemious living. 

CO-ORDINATIONS. In business, marriage and social 
life, you harmonize best with those born in the signs Virgo, 
Scorpio, Capricornus, Pisces and Taurus. 

Your Astral gem or birth-stone is the garnet. Red is a 
desirable decorative color as it tends to sharpen the auric 
attraction and enhance your welfare and general appearance.

LEO — January 20 to February 19. 

If born any time from January 20 to February 19, your 
birth sign is Leo; the vital, fiery, magnetic field of the quar- 
ter of wisdom; symbolized by the lion; and relating to the 
function of the heart. This shows that you possess a deep, 
emotional, humanitarian and loving individuality; kind and 
considerate of others; charitable, free-hearted and keenly 
sensitive; intellectual, inventive, literary, artistic; gifted in 
oratorical power and dramatic impersonations; forceful in 
debate; honorable and trustworthy; warm-hearted, cheerful 
and sociable; possessing sterling qualities which command 
attention and respect; naturally accomplished in doing things 
out of the ordinary; overly credulous; kind when in author- 
ity, and capable in planning and directing in most any line 
of trade or business. Your will-power and executive, as well 
as professional genius is very high; you are gifted in re- 
search and the deeper studies of the phenomena of nature; 
and, because of the intensity of this functional magnetic 
center of being, you are a powerful opponent, yet a sympa- 
thetic and forgiving peacemaker. Disappointments and re- 
verses spur you on to greater endeavor. You are subject to 
spells of intense grief which may be brot about from ob- 
servation of people in general — the states of being. 

VOCATIONAL ADAPTATION— You belong in profes- 
sional rather than commercial lines, but you possess ability 
of the nobler sort as an organizer, leader and manager in 
large undertakings; especially such as are conducive to the 
betterment of people in general and to those who are de- 
pendent. You put your heart into all that you do, hence, 
you are efficient and determined in carrying out your aims 
and purposes. Being very free-hearted, liberal and sympa- 
thetic, you are not strong in matters of finance. You readily 
adjust and fit yourself into whatever position calls for your 
services. Teaching, law, medicine, lecturing, preaching, sci- 
entific research, art, music, drama, are suitable vocations. 

HEALTH — You are endowed with a strong constitution, 
but your magnetic center being the heart, you are subject 
to affections round and about this function; such as pleurisy, 
excess fire or heat, affections of the diaphragm, ribs, back 
and sides. Extreme planetary configurations at birth tend 
to make such ailments more or less severe. Heart failure 
is the main thing to guard against. Hot baths and massage, 
with simple diet, is the way to relief. 

CO-ORDINATIONS — In business, marriage and social 
life, you harmonize best with those born in the signs Libra, 
Sagittarius, Aquarius, Aries and Gemini. 

Your Astral gem or birth-stone is the amethyst. Purples, 
lavenders, blues, and sharp points of red are co-ordinate 
colors. They add to the magnetic radiations of your aura of 
being.

VIRGO— February 19 to March 21. 

If born any time from February 19 to March 21, your sign 
of birth is Virgo; the neutral, earthy division of the quarter 
of. knowledge and wisdom; symbolized by the Virgin. This 
sign being the function of the stomach, calls for knowledge 
and understanding of self. It is the function of absorption, 
assimilation; the building function of being. This shows 
that you naturally absorb knowledge and your progress 
thru life is dominated by desire. You are reserved, dis- 
criminating, quietly active, negatively nervous, imaginative, 
and inclined to base your judgment on feeling rather than 
analytical reasoning. Your nature is somewhat hidden and 
your talents are not readily brot into action; but when they 
are, you display many excellent, constructive and efficient 
mental and physical qualities. You are somewhat exacting 
when in authority, yet diplomatic, tactful and keen in ob- 
servation and directness of purpose. You have an inventive 
turn of mind, and being intuitive and desirous of attaining 
success in your aims and purposes, you seek ideas from 
others, from books, from any source that enables you to 
gain information without too much experience and specula- 
tion with tryouts and expense. You are a reaper. 

VOCATIONAL ADAPTATION— Being • quiet and re- 
served naturally, you belong in some occupational field where 
your hidden powers may be urged to the front, into action; 
and this is best accomplished in some intellectual pursuit 
requiring skill in execution of the details connected with the 
work. You are in good co-ordination with foods, drugs, 
chemistry, domestic science; materials and requirements for 
the promotion of such enterprises. In the mechanical lines 
you are well suited to the printing, publishing, binding, tabu- 
lating, and recording vocations. You possess managerial 
tact and diplomacy; and may develop such skill to a prac- 
tical and efficient service. If especially favored by planetary 
influences you would make a literary critic. 

HEALTH — Your sign of birth shows that your innate de- 
sires lead to overindulgence in the matter of eating. Your 
stomach, therefore, is the chief function to guard and pro- 
tect against this craving manifestation of your inner being. 
You are subject to nervous stomach derangements, which 
reflect to the brain and nerve center and produce general 
flatulency and irritations in this part of the system. Dieting 
above all else is the important thing to consider as a means 
of relief. 

CO-ORDINATIONS — In business, marriage and social 
life, you harmonize more favorably with those born in the 
signs Scorpio, Capricornus, Pisces, Taurus, and Cancer. 

Your Astral gem or birthstone is the blood-stone. Jewelry 
and decorations in harmony therewith enhance the appear- 
ance.

LIBRA— March 21 to April 21. 

If born any time from March 21 to April 21, your sign of 
birth is Libra; the mental, airy section of the quarter of 
business and wealth; symbolized by the scales. This sign 
shows your general nature thruout, is light and airy, free 
and easy, jovial and optimistic; and, like the scales, evenly 
balanced. You have a quick, active mind; keen perception; 
and you glide along thru the years with greater ease and 
enjoyment than those born in either of the other sections of 
the circle. You are inclined to take life too easy; you pro- 
crastinate in all that is not at the moment urgent; you love 
pleasure, beauty, the finer vibrations of music, art, flowers, 
ornamentation; and you are a good judge of quality, of fab- 
rics, styles, conditions and Mendings in colors, tones and 
designs. You are a good and a generally just critic, analyz- 
ing fairly, logically, and with a high sense of justice. Topics 
and events of the times interest you. Show, display, cere- 
monial camouflage, give you much amusement. You enjoy 
things mystical, occult and out of the ordinary; you are 
clairvoyant and gifted in prophetic vision, which indicates 
refinement, courtesy, deference toward others and admiration 
of the higher attainments of learned and scientific minds. 
Your life is moulded largely by your associations. You dwell 
much in a sphere of mirthfulness in which you entertain 
yourself. Everything tends to amuse you. 

VOCATIONAL ADAPTATION— Libra being the mental 
sign of the quarter of business and wealth, it relates you to 
the marts of trade, exchange, merchandising, the middle 
man's position in the business world. The scales clearly 
symbolizes the adaptation. The more refined classes of 
merchandise, such as fine prints, art goods, delicate fabrics, 
silks and laces, perfumes and specialties in high-grade lines 
are usually preferred. Musical and theatrical lines are chief 
among the professions most suited to your powers and capa- 
bilities. Fine printing, art printing, publishing and advertis- 
ing are co-ordinate business interests. You possess natural 
artistic talent, and with favorable planetary rulings, such 
gifts may be developed to a high degree of efficiency. 

HEALTH — This sign shows that your magnetic center is 
the function of the kidneys and bowels; which are subject 
to the common ailments relating to this part of the body. 
Only when planetary effects are severe is there danger o^ 
serious results. Ordinarily the constitution is strong and 
quite free from affliction of any sort. 

CO-ORDINATIONS — In business, marriage and social 
life, you blend most favorably with those born in Sagitarius, 
Aquarius, Aries, Gemini and Leo. 

Your Astral gem or birth-stone is the diamond. Light 
colors and contrasts are in harmony with this valued gem. 
Jewelry and decorations in conformity therewith, add luster 
to the appearance.

SCORPIO— April 21 to May 21. 

It born any time from April 21 to May 21, your birth-sign 
is Scorpio; the vital, watery section of the quarter of busi- 
ness; relating to the procreative function, and symbolized by 
the Scorpion. This shows that you possess a very vital, re- 
sponsive, energetic, tenacious, shrewd, cautious, keen, critical 
and secretive nature. You have unusual physical powers 
that tend to longevity. Your magnetic radiations are "strong 
and effective in their influence upon others. This shows 
healing power high in potentiality. You are strong, physical- 
ly and mentally; direct in manner, and bold and free in mat- 
ters of speech and action. Being adverse to change you are 
inclined to concentrate your mind upon matters in hand 
which enables you to bring about results of the constructive 
order with the minimum of labor. You are not overly ambi- 
tious beyond securing such resources as will bring comfort 
and ease. While not overly generous, you spend freely for 
the gratification of your personal desires. Your likes and 
dislikes are intense; passion and kindness, love and jealousy, 
temper and sarcasm, are traits that need attention. 

VOCATIONAL ADAPTATION— You co-ordinate with 
such professions as physician, surgeon, magnetic healer, 
osteopathy, chemistry, mental and spiritual research, 
psychology; and y6u possess hypnotic power far above the 
average in this field of practice. In the commercial sphere 
you find your most agreeable vocation in lines dealing with 
metals, tin, iron and minerals of all sorts; and such trades as 
require mechanical skill in the conversion of such metals — 
moulders, smiths, grinders, and producers of edged tools 
and scientific instruments and appliances. You also possess 
strong qualities for the position of solicitor and promoter 
of the interests of corporations, insurance, commission busi- 
ness, and such positions as call for service rather than finan- 
cial responsibility. You possess excellent qualities for the 
detective service. You are adaptable to many and varied 
positions in the business world. 

HEALTH — Your sign of birth gives you an exceptionally 
strong and enduring constitution thruout. The generative 
organs being the magnetic center of the system, suggests 
the location of most of the affliction that needs to be over- 
come. Extreme planetary rulings produce strictural ten- 
dencies in the region of the bladder and passageways, the 
nerves and ducts of this section. Constructive living, diet- 
ing and doing, is the remedy. 

CO-ORDINATIONS — In business, marriage and social 
life, you harmonize best with those born in the signs Capri- 
cornus, Pisces, Taurus, Cancer and Virgo. 

Your Astral gem or birth-stone is the emerald. Its color 
is your guide in the selection of designs and decorations 
which focalize and render more sharp your aura of being.

SAGITTARIUS— May 21 to June 21.

birth is Sagittarius; the neutral, fiery division of the quarter 
of wealth; relating to the hips and thighs; and its symbol is 
the archer — the huntsman. This sign shows that you have a 
somewhat negative and visionary or dreamy nature, with 
large ideas and imagery; aiming at accomplishments of the 
more pretentious sort; enthusiastic in whatever you under- 
take; and being morally fearless, loyal, conscientious and 
religious, you possess many gifts of the spirit as well as of 
the mind. This shows that you are gifted in the art of social 
democracy, a natural teacher and leader in thot and action. 
You love freedom, independence, the larger and rangier 
fields of study and the open field of communion and recrea- 
tion. You are mystical and the gift of clairvoyance and 
prophecy — realization in matters hidden to the average mind 
— is easily developed to a practical and dependable use. 
While, you analyze critically you have a high sense of right 
and justice; therefore, you are a good judge of the finer 
details in art, music, styles, qualities and all that relates to 
the character, appearance and conduct of people in social 
and business life. You have much in your favor for advance- 
ment, education, higher attainment and accomplishment. 

VOCATIONAL ADAPTATION— Your vocational field is 
very rangy. Your sign shows adaptation for traveling in 
commercial operations, selling goods, advertising, paving the 
way in pioneer movements; inspecting and checking the 
works of others; engineering lines; extension work; breaking 
into new fields for business connections, and following trails 
that lead to unknown and speculative areas. You are a 
natural hunter and delight in finding something out of the 
ordinary and far removed from the usual haunts of men. 
You shoot your darts of love and your arrows of the chase. 
with precision, and nothing is worth while that is not tinc- 
tured with more or less romance. 

HEALTH — The fire sign Sagittarius tends to produce an 
excess of heat or fire in the blood, which, when afflicted by 
congestion, tends to give muscular pains, restrictions in the 
circulation and interferences with vital functions of the body 
Muscular ailments and nervous reflection and reactions, 
which result in fevers, swellings, eruptions and strictures 
are the main things to keep in check. Diet, sweating and 
open-air exercise, bathing and romping, are effective 
remedies. 

CO-ORDINATIONS— In business, marriage and social 
life, you blend more harmoniously with those born in the 
signs Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo and Libra. 

Your Astral gem or birth-stone is the sapphire. Learn to 
select co-ordinate and contrasting colors with this choice 
ornament and you will make more bright and attractive your 
natural beauty — your appearance.

CAPRICORNUS— June 21 to July 22. 

If born any time from June 21 to July 22, your sign o.~ 
birth is Capricornus; the mental, earthy, first division of the 
quarter of labor, symbolized by the goat. This sign shows 
that you possess a strong mind backed up by physical re- 
sources that give you a wonderful constitution, even tno 
your framework appears somewhat frail and indicative of 
quite the reverse in physical power. You naturally aim to 
reach first place in the general conduct of business; there- 
fore, you possess much power, skill, force and psychological 
influence adaptable to handling groups of workers in the 
larger lines of manufacturing and jobbing, building and ship- 
ping interests. You have much in your favor for large 
undertakings. Your managerial qualities are far above the 
average, and constitute your principal natural asset. Plod- 
ding, patient, persevering, cautious, diplomatic, stern, exact, 
practical and efficient, you demand and render service in 
accord with such qualities and principles. Moods of melan- 
choly and discontent tend to upset the nervous system an i 
bring spells of depression that weigh heavily on mind and 
heart. You are quite pugnacious, high-tempered and willful, 
but usually yield to authority, and when in authority you 
demand obedience from all who come under your directive 
position. You are capable as a leader in many branches. 

VOCATIONAL ADAPTATION— Your mental and physi- 
cal resources being well balanced and in co-ordination with 
the larger lines of industry and finance, you belong in the 
manufacturing, jobbing, building, shipping, ranching, irrigat- 
ing, agricultural, mining and banking fields of industry. You 
have the natural power and gifts to begin at the bottom 
and develop to huge proportions staple commercial inter- 
ests. Your patience and perseverance enables you to build 
slowly, conservatively and safely along the lines that lead 
to large accumulations and success. Therefore, if you find 
your planetary rulings are favorable, you should begin earl}' 
in life in some independent action which will afford you an 
opportunity to make the most of your genius and talent. 

HEALTH — Your birth-sign relates to the bones, the knee 
joints; and this shows that afflictions of the bones, joints, 
rheumatic attacks and nervous depression, are the main dis- 
turbers of the system. Your constitution being strong, 
reasonable diet, steaming now and then, and frequent oiling 
of parts and joints will serve to relieve affliction when it 
comes. 

CO-ORDINATIONS — In business, marriage and social 
relations you harmonize best with those born in the signs 
Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo and Scorpio. 

Your Astral gem or birth-stone is the ruby. Jewelry, 
front decorations and designs in wearing apparel, should be 
in harmony with this gem to bring your auric forces to a 
sharp magnetic radiation and impressive effect.

AQUARIUS— July 22 to August 22. 

If born any time from July 22 to August 22, your sign of 
birth is Aquarius; the vital airy section of the quarter of 
labor; relating to the lower limbs and especially to the 
ankles and calves; and symbolized by the water bearer, the 
messenger and carrier of good tidings. This sign shows 
that you possess a keen, penetrative, mechanical and scien- 
tific mentality; endowed above the average with talent and 
genius of the intuitive and inventive sort; and that you are 
a hard worker and an active all-round operator in the up- 
to-date developments in field, farm and factory improve- 
ments. You possess adaptability of a high order, and with 
little information you advance rapidly to a complete mastery 
of most anything you turn to that calls for originality and 
improvement. Your sign denotes refinement; artistic and 
literary talent; and you feel deeply for others and willingly 
render service with much gratification to yourself. You are 
charitable and peaceful, quiet and often enjoy being alone 
in contemplation of things hidden to the average mind. 
You are mentally, magnetically and structurally strong and 
resourceful, and sports afield, tests of strength and efficiency 
in service, interest you. Games, sports, amusements of all 
sorts afford you much pleasure. You learn largely from 
your experience and labors — by works that lead to under- 
standing and wisdom. 

VOCATIONAL ADAPTATION— Your leading trait rela- 
tive to vocational adaptations, is that you love to work, do 
something, make something, invent some new and useful 
tool, appliance, system or method, that will enhance pro- 
duction, save time and labor, and make for more efficient 
service. You are well suited to the details of office, factory, 
mechanical arts, literary and scientific research, electrical 
improvements, and all lines requiring special gifts and tech- 
nical knowledge to produce results in keeping with the 
highest development of such arts and crafts. Good stimulat- 
ing planetary support enlarges one's powers and capabilities 
and gives much promise of success in manufacturing lines. 

HEALTH — You are generally quite free from dangerous 
ailments. Your lower limbs, the calves and ankles are chief 
sectional regions showing the usual disturbances. Very mild 
and careful treatment is most effectual in relieving irrita- 
tions, swellings and pains in these parts. Fasting is espe- 
cially beneficial. 

CO-ORDINATIONS— In business, marriage and social 
relations, you harmonize best with those born in the signs 
Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, and Sagittarius. 

Your Astral gem or birth-stone is the sardonyx. This 
means that the color and radiation of this gem is in harmony 
with the elemental nature of your sign of birth which deter- 
mines your magnetic aura. Decorate accordingly.

PISCES— August 22 to September 22. 

If born any time from August 22 to September 22, your 
sign of birth is Pisces; the neutral, watery sign of the quar- 
ter of labor; relating to the feet; and symbolized by the 
fishes. This shows that your functional magnetic center is 
the feet, and this being the extreme negative section of the 
solar field, you are naturally a very negative, highly impres- 
sional, intuitive, responsive and spasmodic being. You are 
highly surcharged and endowed with the gifts of the 
medium and psychic. You catch the vibrations of animate 
nature more readily and deeply than those born in other 
signs, and the effect is such that you reflect conditions 
thus brot into your auric field in a very clear and definable 
interpretation of their meanings, natures, qualities and 
sources. This extreme sensitiveness tends to hold you back 
and keep you from forging ahead in the competitive life of 
the world. You are naturally timid and need urging to bring 
you out and into the more prominent fields of personal 
promise. When once you are located and understand your 
duties, you show marked ability in many directions. You are 
a natural caterer, loving to serve where kindness and appre- 
ciation is evidenced by those to whom you render service. 

VOCATIONAL ADAPTATION— Living largely on your 
feet you are an active mover in matters of labor and busi- 
ness interests, whatever they may be. Liquids, fish, fowl, 
game, produce; agricultural pursuits; catering and hotel lines; 
and cattle, wool, mining, coal, cotton and crude products: 
navigation, irrigation, transportation, and such positions as 
come within range or connection with them. These show 
the larger field for such as are favored by strong horoscop- 
ical aspects. Your position in life determines which is the 
most desirable in the list. You have good qualities for the 
position of book-keeper, librarian, literary and stenographic 
work; teaching, nursing, demonstrating special products; 
soliciting and introducing various utilities in homes, shoos 
and offices. Activity on the feet makes for a restless life, 
and for this reason the employment should be changeable. 

HEALTH — Your feet are the sensitive region of your 
being, and these require careful attention to keep them free 
from some one or other aggravation. Soap, water and oil 
and a good barefoot romp in the wet mud, dewy grass and 
in the hot sands, is the best in the way of simple treatment. 
The tissues should be kept soft. 

CO-ORDINATIONS — In business, marriage and social 
life, you blend more favorably with those born in the signs 
Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricornus. 

Your Astral gem or birth-stone is the pearl, the gem of 
the deeps. Your aura of being is reflective of the deeps of 
feeling and emotion, hence, your appearance is enhanced by 
decorations in harmony with the pearl.

Rising Sign 



After considering the INDIVIDUALITY, as shown by 
the sign of birth, take the hour or the time of day and locate 
the sign of the East, the Rising Sign and incorporate its 
meaning in the continuation of the delineation. For ex- 
ample: take the figure and date January first. Cancer is 
the sign of birth, of Individuality, and the rising sign being 
Libra> it shows the form, height, weight, complexion, color 
of hair and eyes, general appearance, and tendencies of the 
mind toward vocational en.deavor. The following delinea- 
tions of the Rising signs relate to PERSONALITY, the 
surface appearance and expression of Individuality. 

To illustrate the composition and connection of the two 
features of the reading, suppose one is born in the sign Aries, 
between September 22 and October 23, and the sign rising is 
found to be Leo. First read the Individuality from Aries 
and add the Personality reading Leo- This would show a 
character with the head and heart, the mental and emotional 
qualities blended together; a combination harmonious in the 
manifestation of being. 

It will be seen by reference to the birth sign Aries, that 
the sign Leo is harmonious therewith; therefore, birth signs 
and rising signs that are in harmony show like conditions 
in the nature as a whole. Birth signs and Rising signs when 
not in ♦harmonic relatedness, produce corresponding inhar- 
monic tendencies. To know one's self these points must 
be located and their effects studied. The application of 
such knowledge and understanding leads to the position of 
the Master — the attainment of wisdom. In this way one 
may become master of self through knowledge, understand- 
ing, wisdom. One then becomes the possessor of the Sages 
Key to Character. 



2C THE SACK'S KEY TO 



Rising Sign 

Delineation — Personality. 

Aries. — When Aries is rising in the East at birth it denotes 
an average stature, somewhat lean and spare, with fairly 
large bones; head broad at the upper part, narrowing toward 
the chin to quite a perceptible degree; ruddy complexion, 
firm skin, neck rather long, plump shoulders, hair medium 
to light, inclined to reddish; ears, nose, and mouth medium 
size; erect figure, head carried a little forward; eyes bluish 
grey, positive quick sight; talkative, neat, tidy and orderly. 
(See Aries types in diagrams.) 

Aries rising shows the manifestation will be positive, 
active, forceful, courageous, determined and forward; with 
power and ability to lead, guide, direct in important move- 
ments and undertakings in philanthropic an.d business asso- 
ciations. Aries denotes a pioneer in thought and action with 
a mind tending toward idealism and extremes in aims and 
purposes; optimistic, philosophical and self-reliant. The pos- 
itive, penetrating mentality shows ability to get at the deeper 
meanings of things usually hidden to the average mind. In- 
dependence and love of freedom leads to ventures in many 
and varied lines of action — many fields of thought. This 
shows ranginess in plans and undertakings. 



Taurus. — Taurus rising at birth denotes a short stature, 
heavy thick set, strong body; broad full forehead; fleshy- 
cheeks and jaw; thick lips, showing a keen appetite; darkish 
blue eyes; medium to dark hair, somewhat wavy; usually 
broad and prominent nose, inclined to acquiline; straight, 
stiff figure and carriage; inclined to boldness, which shows 
a strong front and stubborn personality. (Refer to .diagrams 
for extreme types and variations.) 

Taurus is indicative of a vital, mental and physical nature 
throughout; vehement and defiant, venturesome and daring, 
which shows power and ability in dealing with the material 
things of life and business. Manufacturing, building, engi- 
neering — carrying out plans as contractors, jobbers, financial 
promoters and executives of the larger undertakings of the 
business world, gives the taurean nature an opportunity to 
utilize his talent to the best advantage. Methodical, some- 
what plodding, reserved, secretive and fixed in aim and pur- 
pose, they are competent to handle the more pretentious 
propositions in the business field with assurance of attaining 
satisfactory results. They are practical mathematicians, 
adverse to change, hence their knowledge and skill comes 
largely through experience. Love of music and possible de- 
velopment of vocal powers in this direction, brings out the 
finer qualities ^ and deeper feeling relating to the social side 
of life. This is the normal manifestation of the Personality.

Gemini. — Gemini rising at birth denotes a tall to medium, 

thin, upright body, somewhat hollow chest, medium long 
face;'warm, sanguine to medium .dark complexion; beautiful 
bluish hazel eyes; hair light brown tending toward a darker 
shade with age; long arms and hand; quick and active in 
movement and expression. (See diagrams for variations.) 

Gemini rising gives one a dual nature — a double manifesta- 
tion. The highly sensitive and psychic tendency, brings 
more vitaly and clearly to view the qualities of the inner 
being — the Individuality — which blends with the Personality, 
thus giving to the manifestation a perceptible duality in 
thought and action. The mind is brilliant, versatile, intel- 
lectual, clever, highly imaginative, inspirational, and con- 
tradictory in its rapid nights and reactions. The mentality 
reflects every phase and every change of environment. 
Literary genius is one of the leading traits, which prompts 
thought and action. Seldom at ease, evasive, acute, cunning, 
the nature is seldom understood. All things to all people is 
a phase of the Gemini nature. Though capable in high de- 
gree, the tendency to change, to seek new and different sen- 
sations, interferes with concentration and continuity in busi- 
ness operations — the doing — and usually minimizes results. 
Specially favorable planetary rulings are necessary to suc- 
cess in undertakings of the more pretentious sort. 



Cancer. — When Cancer is rising at birth it denotes an aver- 
age to small stature; somewhat fleshy upper body; round and 
full face; forehead prominent; wide at temples; light palish 
complexion; medium to small bluish gray eyes; brown hair; 
short nose and usually turned a little upward at the point; 
carriage a little irregular; nervously active throughout. 

Cancer indicates a high-strung mentality; resourceful in 
all that pertains to domesticity; agriculture, gardening and 
general labor; they desire manifestation in lines dealing in 
liquids; operating canning and bottling plants; milk routes, 
soda fountains and bars. They love the water, and make 
good sailors. They are good hotelkeepers and caterers. 
They love curios and antiques and lean toward such mer- 
chandising. They are suited to business pursuits, such as real 
estate, building materials, paints, oils and decorations. They 
love excitement and recreation, romance, political agitation 
and demonstrations. Such a nature feels keenly, and follows 
the theme and lives the part in reading a story or seeing a 
drama or picture on the screen. Spasmodic in action, they 
often lack in Jogic and self-control in times of excitement. 
They act a part somewhat dramatic in whatever they do. 
When Cancer rises look for these manifestations of Person- 
ality.

Leo. — When Leo is rising at birth it denotes an average 
to tall stature; medium large bones; inclining to fullness as 
the years advance; narrow hips; medium fine blond to dark- 
ish hair; inclined to baldness; sanguine to florid complexion; 
medium large and well formed normal head; greyish to 
brown eyes; sharp, keen and quick sight; active and some- 
what dramatic carriage, and an attractive magnetic person- 
ality. 

This sign shows concentration, the power to direct thought 
and action with persistency and enthusiastic interest. The 
mind is readily interested in everything new, scientific, 
progressive, beneficial to humanity, and productive of some- 
thing worth while in the way of improvement over previous 
accomplishments. This denotes ability__to plan, promote and 
manage, direct and produce results in the more pretentious 
enterprises of the business and professional order. The 
social adaptation is quite a marked characteristic. The 
artistic tastes lead to pleasures of the finer sort, and to such 
lines and professions in co-ordination therewith. Amuse- 
ments, the stage, sculptor, hangings, .decorations, the grand 
and beautiful in nature and in the arts and crafts, bring 
pleasure, comfort, reflection and the larger joys of daily life. 
The universe, in all its magnificence, appeals to the heart, 
touches the emotional center, and broadens the mind and 
range of the Personality. 



Virgo. — When Virgo is rising at birth it denotes an aver- 
age to tall stature; close built and somewhat plump body; 
ruddy and darkish complexion; hair dark; eyes dark; ears 
medium; nose with prominent curves at the sides of the 
nostrils, inclined to stand out well from the face, and angular 
in shape; head round at the top; cheek bones clearly in view, 
though not large; more sharp than bulging; the face of 
angles; upright carriage; somewhat wavy and swinging walk. 
(See diagrams for variations.) 

Virgo shows a nature that is inclined to be contemplative, 
reserved; somewhat timid or bashful; keenly intuitive; de- 
pending largely on impressions for guidance, and inclined 
to absorb and turn to good account information gleaned 
from others, from books, and from sources of observation 
which tend to stimulate the intuitive faculties. The lead- 
ings, therefore, are toward lines in business and professional 
life, which deal with the works of original thinkers and 
reasoners, writers and scientists, inventors and others, who 
pave the way for productive results. They fit into positions 
of trust in conservative, staple and safe lines of trade and 
finance. They prefer quiet inside positions, where the mind 
is centered principally upon details. While they are deep 
and their talents are hidden, they possess executive ability 
to a marked degree.

Libra. — When Libra is rising- at birth it denotes an average 
to quite tall stature; well formed, symmetrical body; soft 
pinkish complexion; good features and beautiful, smooth 
fine dark hair; bluish hazel to darkish brown eyes full of 
expression; a dignified carriage, and a mirthful, pleasing, 
soulful expression. 

The sign shows excellent mental qualities; well balanced; 
just and reliable; care-free and joyous, and highly intellect- 
ual, observing, analytical, artistic and intuitive. They are 
good and just critics; interested in live issues, entertain- 
ments, show and display in all that makes for amusement 
and the joy of living. Their personality leadings are toward 
commercial lines of the more delicate classes, and as pro- 
moters of business interests they are apt in advertising, pub- 
lishing, fashions, designing, art, music, the stage; and in 
social life they adjust readily and are influenced to a large 
extent by their associations and environment. Lofty in aim 
and purpose they soar high in imagination and grasp readilv 
and enthusiastically new ideas and demonstrations in all 
fields of scientific thought, invention and accomplishment. 
They make good merchants in the retail trades, and they 
possess much power to draw business and render efficient 
and satisfactory service to the general public. They make 
good judges, because they love justice above all else in life. 

Scorpio. — When Scorpio is rising at birth it denotes an 
average to tall stature; corpulent, strong hairy body; bullet- 
shaped top head; prominent over the eyes; square face; dark 
complexion; hair dark, plentiful, somewhat coarse and curly; 
short full neck; eyes medium to dark, and fierce when 
angered or crossed; medium close set ears; heavy tread and 
firm carriage. 

This sign indicates universal adaptability, with much 
tact, skill and diplomacy in matters that relate to the inner 
workings and secrets of the commercial, professional and 
political fields of exploitation and enterprise. The chemistry 
of life and things in general attract the attention and stimu- 
late thought and action in commercial fields in which the 
arts and crafts are prominent. The more technical profes- 
sions along the avenues of research and science, medicine, 
surgery, dissection and analysis, tend to absorb the mind and 
make for concentration and constructive endeavor. Mines, 
minerals, metals in transformation, and products of the heav- 
ier kind, afford agreeable vocations in harmony with the 
talent and genius of the scorpio mentality. They make good 
government officials, detectives, promoters along political 
and representative lines. While not especially strong for 
accumulation, they possess much ability to look out for their 
own welfare, and are usually successful in their undertakings,

Sagittarius. — When Sagittarius is rising at birth, it denotes 
an average to tall stature; well formed and agile body; high 
forehead, and lower over ears; oval face; light tan brown 
complexion; hair light brown to dark chestnut, and fine; in- 
clined to baldness; bright, soulful and expressive medium 
hazel to brown eyes; teeth usually somewhat peculiar and 
pointed; appearance dignified and commanding, and a good 
all around nature in looks and general magnetic qualities of 
being. 

This sign leads the mind to .dwell much on distant climes, 
the open way to the pleasures of native living. It denotes 
the commercial pioneer, the advance agent in new and untried 
fields. The traveler, guide, adventurer, researcher, promoter, 
creator of new business prospects, and pioneer mover in 
large ventures is favored by this fiery and explosive man- 
ifestation of solar magnetic influence. A vocation in har- 
mony with such gifts and tendencies gives range of action 
that brings into play the best of skill and executive ability 
for such a position in life. College professors, scenic free- 
hand artists, clergymen, and those who change from one 
position or locality to another, meeting new faces and sur- 
roundings, make a favorable impression on those they meet 
and gain much in knowledge and understanding that adds to 
their pleasures and enhances their general welfare. Also 
government officials, military and otherwise, develop favor- 
ably when thjs sign is in the east at birth. 



Capricornus. — When Capricornus is rising at birth it de- 
notes an average to short stature; bony body and inclined 
to dryness; face long and angular; nose long; chin long and 
somewhat irregular; neck small and long; narrfow chest; 
medium shade, long, straight hair, males having thin or 
sparse beards; with a peculiar action of seemingly weak 
knees, noticeable in the walk and carriage, and a slight stoop 
or twist in the neck and shoulders; eyes hazel to dark grey. 

The personal leadings are toward positions of authority. 
Being willing to begin at the bottom, they forge ahead 
rapidly in attaining their objective. The heavier physical, 
mechanical and industrial projects, involving much time and 
labor, offer the best outlet for their natural genius. As 
foremen, managers, .directors and all around inside pro- 
ducers, as well as outside leaders, they are among the most 
reliable natures for efficient service. A good and forcefnl 
and efficient lawyer for the larger corporate interests, is 
favored when born in this sign. These interests being large 
and rangy, they are in harmony with the birth sign forces. 
Cattle ranches, the wool and fiber industry, raw materials in 
general, are suitable lines for independent business under- 
takings in accord with the Personality.

Aquarius. — When Aquarius is rising" at birth, it denotes an 
average stature, usually heavy set, plump and well formed 
physique; pinkish sanguine complexion; beautiful bluish 
hazel eyes; hair flaxen to medium brown; face quite large, 
with features well rounded and full; a firm, active, care free 
and jolly nature, expressive of real joy and gladness in 
living. Aquarius competes with Libra in the endownment 
of good looks, well formed body and charming qualities in 
the manifestation of personality. 

The mind is attracted in the direction of technical lines 
that call for specific gifts in matters of detail — printing, 
stenography, correspondence, mechanical technique — art, 
music, literature, research, analysis, composition, transfor- 
mation and reconstruction. The gift of genius is one of 
the prominent characteristics of the Aquarian mind. Such a 
nature is entertained by the passing show, whatever it may 
be. The vital issue is the thing that is in evidence." Do it 
now, is the dominant idea in matters of interest at the 
moment. Thus the mind responds quickly in all things 
exciting, urgent and attractive. The nature is immovable, 
however, when no interest is aroused in the subject or 
phenomena involved. They make good surveyors, govern- 
ment officials, secretaries, researchers, astronomers, poets, 
publicists, and reformers in all that makes for higher prog- 
ress and development. 

Pisces. — When Pisces is rising at birth it denotes an aver- 
age to short stature; lymphatic and fleshy body; short, full 
limbs; face medium large and fleshy; pale complexion; eyes 
prominent, but weak, dull or sleepy in appearance; hair 
medium brown to dark; feet large and movements quite 
noticeable when in conversation, owing to centralization of 
animation to this section. 

The tendency of the mind is to take life easy and not 
bother about the way things are coming or going. Slow to j 
act and, somewhat indifferent, the mind is reflective, negative, 
impressional, and more difficult to arouse and enthuse, then 
the mind of either of the other signs. The resources of 
the mind are in the deeps of being, even as the resources of 
the ocean are in the ocean depths. Occasions, baits, frights 
and hunger tend to stir the soul at its depths, and then it is 
that the Pisces nature reveals its hidden resources. Such 
lines and occupations as call for feet action, rather than head 
action, are usually the more attractive positions. The men- 
tality is negatived, hence, the brain does not act so freely 
and quickly as the average. This appears to the observer 
and also to the Pisces mind to be a lack of something, but 
it is merely the manifestation of a universally negatived 
mentality that requires a little more time to get to the sur- 
face and express itself. However, the mind is unusually 
resourceful when stirred to its depths.

Rising Sign Profileology 

Character at Sight 

The figures shown in Diagrams 2-3-4-5, are drawn to ap- 
proximately outline the Normal Rising Sign types in stature, 
body build, featural markings in profile, hands and general 
poise. The idea is to present a view of the normal, well 
balanced personality development and appearance that may 
be caught with a sweeping glance. A little study of these 
types and their variations as heretofore explained, will 
enable one to quickly determine the Rising Sign delineation 
in harmony therewith. 



Our Presidents 



Our Presidents afford a facial study showing the twelve 
Rising sign types, together with .dates of birth that give the 
Birth Sign as well. This is a very interesting lesson, as 
the figures present variations and combinations that differ- 
entiate heads and feature lines of interest to the more tech- 
nical student. It will be observed that in the first group of 
twelve faces the Rising sign given in each figure is more 
or less expressive of the points shown in the outline profile 
illustrations. The others, which completes the list of our 
Presidents from Washington to Hayes, are put in as a test 
lesson to students. The Date of birth is the only informa- 
tion upon which to base the judgment. From this find the 
Rising Sign and note the application of the delineation. 

These points and others of a similar character constitute 
the more technical work of the complete course in character 
delineation at sight. Final examinations show the proficiency 
of students and determine their qualifications for the uni- 
versity degree— S. C. D.— Sight Character Delineator.

Zodiacal Variable Calculus 

As no two things in nature are exactly the. same, no two 
things of a species identical, the student of human nature 
must deal extensively with variables in character analysis. 
The following rules show how birth sign and rising sign 
variables in the solar field may be determined. 

1. Signs denoting height combine their effects in exten- 
uation of height. Mediums intensify solidity and add to the 
weight. Short signs reduce height and increase weight and 
corpulency. 

2. Tall and short indicators combine to normalize and 
produce medium stature. Tall and medium produce a corre- 
sponding balance between the two, and in like manner the 
medium and short reduce height and increase weight and 
solidity. 

3. Rising signs combine in like manner and vary the fea- 
tures, mental tendencies, capabilities and form of body. For 
example: Aries 15 degrees rising would include 15 degrees 
of Taurus in featuring the lines of the face, and also add 
weight and reduce height. Taurus 15 degrees rising would 
include 15 degrees of Gemini and thus add height and weight. 
In like manner all of the signs thus combine their effects in 
form of body, feature markings and throughout the mental 
and physical manifestation of Personality. 

4. Fifteen .degrees of a sign is the turning point in the 
variable calculus relating to sign differentials. The sign 
showing the greater number of degrees in the field covered 
by the thirty degrees following the rising point, dominates 
in form and feature effects. For instance: 5 degrees of 
Aries rising would make Aries the dominant indicator ac- 
cording to its percentage of degrees over Taurus; the latter 
showing but 5 .degrees, while Aries would hold 25 degrees. 
If 25 degrees of Aries was rising at birth, 25 degrees of 
Taurus would be in the field, and thus carry the balance 
of power accordingly. 

5. As these variations cover the 360 degrees of the 
zodiacal circle it is clear that variability is a far-reaching 
study in connection with human nature. However, practice 
makes perfect, and as one becomes proficient in observation 
one develops an intuitive sense that enables him to catch 
and feel the Auric vibrations, the personal magnetic emana- 
tion of being, which is an interesting factor in determining 
the location of the rising sign and degree as well as the 
sign of birth. This leads one into the realm of the occult 
and makes for keenness of vision and the exercise of those 
inner powers which are seldom awakened to any high degree 
of efficiency in the great majority of humankind.

Diagram 6, 

Extreme Featural Variations 

A few illustrations (Diagram No. 6) will suffice to show 
the extreme variations in zodiacal types. 

The balanced head and normal features are nearly straight 
from crown to chin. Note No. 1. 

Combinations of the protruding and receding features are 
common. 

Variations in character effects resulting therefrom may be 
approximated. The protruding center formation (Fig. 2) 
indicates force, penetration, impulsiveness, fearlessness, 
quickness in thought and action, an.d the tendency to ven- 
ture where others fear to tread. Optimism runs high. The 
tendency is to overdo things, take chances and risks out of 
the ordinary. Such a nature needs the counsel and backing 
of the normal mind— the mind that possesses the conserv- 
ative, calculating and reasoning mentality, that insures safety 
an.d success. 

The receding center (Fig. 3) denotes the slow thinker, 
the more studious nature, the reserved and secretive mental- 
ity that is dominated largely by conservatism bordering on 
pessimism. The more extreme the variation from the normal 
the more pronounced the variations in mental tendencies. 
The sign of birth and the rising sign will show jthe mental 
leadings, vocational adaptability and general characteristics 
affected by such variation. 

Note — Planets vary all hands, all faces, all body 
formations, all mental and physical states and manifesta- 
tions. Some planets darken and sharpen while others 
lighten and smooth out and round out the lines and fea- 
tures, form and hands. Heights and weights are likewise 
affected. Combinations of planets produce corresponding 
variations according to the positions, and aspects at birth. 
The science of Solar Magnetics, taught by the Pyramid- 
Cube University system of education, carries students to the 
heights in the study of life and its manifold differentiations. 
It traces life from the primordial atom to the dome of the 
intellect, from the soul force of nature to the exalted evolu- 
tions in personified manifestation, 



CHARACTER AT SIGHT 39 



Combinations 



When the upper half, the forehead and nose extend for- 
ward, with prominence of the nose, and the mouth recedes, is 
drawn in (Fig. 4) the mind dominates action and shows 
keenness in observation and cleverness in speech and diplom- 
acy. It shows talent for promoting and driving things to a 
finish. The receding mouth shows caution in speech, care- 
ful expression and tact and genius in presenting ideas and 
conclusions. 

Reversing the illustration, one having the receding upper 
and protruding and full lower formation (No. 5) is just the 
opposite in mental traits, think but little, acting on the 
impulse of the moment and chattering recklessly, carelessly, 
with scarcely any logic or forethought. Extreme illustration 
No. 6 suggests abnormal brain and mentality. Lacking in 
balance. 

These manifestations, like all others, vary according to the 
variableness of the lines either way and however they are 
combined. The principle is the same. A prominent brain 
thinks, reasons, calculates, and systematizes thought and 
action; is positive, forceful, consistent and logical. Note, 
therefore, first of all, the front brain, the forehead. This is 
the cue to the character and the manifestation. The mouth 
is the implement of construction or destruction, according 
to its formation, position and direction from above. 

The foregoing rules apply to all signs rising and to their 
variations. They constitute the six outward indicators in 
the extremes of featural combinations, as shown in profile 
observation. 



The Trace Line 



Note the profile, hair, complexion, eyes, nose, neck, form 
of body and stature, and from these observations the art of 
locating the rising sign is a matter of a little study and 
practice. Further observation and study will enable one to 
determine the sign of birth; and when one becomes very 
expert and sensitive to auric emenations, the day of the 
month and the year may be closely stated. The study of 
the solar magnetic system, including the effects of the 
planets, carries one farther along and into deeper lines of 
reasoning; and it should be remembered that the planets, as 
shown in a complete horoscope, must be reckoned with to 
give a complete reading of the many and interesting features 
and co-ordinations relating to and involving each individual 
life. For this reason it is important that the exact time be 
recorded of the birth of every child. A correct diagnosis 
may then be made bearing upon any condition, or interest 
throughout one's entire career. The medical profession, the 
educational system, the commercial, mechanical and other 
fields of industry is calling for such a system.

The Hands 



In reading character at sight, observation of the hand 
furnishes a lead to certain points of character that cannot 
well be overlooked. As there are six featural combinations 
showing the extremes in formation of the hea.d and face, so 
there are six dictinctive types of hands. Diagram No. 7 
outlines the general shape of each. The back of the hand, as 
shown, is readily observed. 

The Square Hand, No. 1. — It denotes method, order, hon- 
esty, determination, punctuality, progress; a well balanced 
mind; practicality and harmony. Leaders in the industrial 
life and competent executives, courageous and dependable 
natures, usually possess this type. Neatness, shrewdness, 
diplomacy, being leading characteristics, the position in life 
is in keeping with such admirable qualities of being. 



CHARACTER AT SIGHT 41 



The Artistic Hand, No. 2. — Shows the pointed fingers, indi- 
cative of refinement, frankness, impulsiveness, love of ease, 
beauty, colors, art, music, entertainment, the stage, elocu- 
tion, literary, and all of the finer arts connected with the 
tone, color and manifestation of keen, sensitive, delicate 
human nature. Their vocational adaptation is in line with 
these personal evidences of character. 

The Knotty Hand, No. 3. — Denotes a hard working, self- 
denying humanitarian. The thought is high, though the aim 
for place and power is nil. Such natures love science, 
philosophy, literature, the quiet life that brings comfort to 
the mind and heart, free from the rush and bustle of the 
clamor for wealth. Original in thought, such characters 
arrive at conclusions by their own sound judgment. They 
co-ordinate with rural life, and should be thus situated to 
attain their highest aims and fully enjoy their environment. 

The Spatulate Hand, No. 4.— Shows managerial ability, 
constructive powers, persistency, movement, action in things 
of magnitude. They are logical, forcible, a little rough in 
manner and language, but sincere and honorable as a class, 
demanding justice and rendering service in full measure. 
They have inventive and mechanical ability, and fit in well in 
the general development and conduct of the practical doings 
of the times. 

The Slim Hand, No. 5. — Suggests weakness in initiative 
and the tendency to live a somewhat languid and selfish 
existence. Such natures are inclined to be anemic; the 
nervous system is under a tension that brings on spells of 
lassitude and indifference, even toward their own Blood and 
kindred. They are keen in psychic as well as mental per- 
ception and possess gifts of the spirit rather than physical 
power. They do best in mental pursuits, literary, scientific, 
philosophical and reportorial lines. They make good detec- 
tives and .delvers in things hidden and mysterious. 

The Short Hand, No. 6. — The stubby type, denotes stub- 
bornness, broodiness, passion, materiality and spasmodic 
rashness. The nature is somewhat slow and plodding, calm 
and quiet, preferring to live much within self rather than 
associating freely with either kin or neighbors. These are 
the extreme manifestations. Being generally mild in man- 
ner and peaceful the position in life is found in occupations 
that call for service rather than responsibility of the financial 
or managerial sort. Mining, ranching, farming, trucking, 
cobbling, and similar calls for helpful labor appeal to this 
type of character. 

This completes the list of leading points that readily come 
under observation and which, may be caught at a glance. 
After the first glance the follow-up may be carried on in- 
definitely as opportunity is afforded for closer study. The 
object of this course of study is to simplify the art of read- 
ing character at sight.

with one exception, they were very good manifestations. 

So we find that men of power may spring from any of the 
signs, which brings up the question: how and why? The an-

termination to make good. You will then realize the value 
and importance of the information given in this simple 
course in character analysis. 

If you are of more advanced years, along toward middle 
life, the time is not passed for you to take an inventory of 
self and proceed to find the place most befitting to your 
nature. 

If you are a business man, an employer of men and 
women, the most valuable asset you can possess is a knowl- 
edge of character. Therefore, this course of study is beyond 
price as one of the prime essentials in the conduct of your 
business. The author's experience over a period of some 
thirty years, in placing individuals in their proper positions, 
often changing the positions of the entire personnel of an 
organization, has demonstrated that no information is so 
applicable and profitable in shaping up the working energy 
of a combination of men and women. 

The science of Solar Magnetics has brot a new inspira- 
tion, a new stimulus to thot and action; a new view of life 
in all that pertains to the welfare and advancement of the 
race. Those cast down with seeming failure and discour- 
agement, have been raised and given a new start, some of 
which have risen from a menial clerkship to the presidency 
of a corporation. Some have risen from the common walks 
and become leaders in special lines, in business, the profes- 
sions, in education and in many departments of our national 
life. Knowledge of Solar Magnetics fortifies and insures 
character and paves the way to higher attainment — the ac- 
complishment of one's aims and purpose in reaching the 
cherished goal, Success.

A Utah Family Group 

This picture was made from an old postal card and it 
furnishes an exhaustive study of juvenile character, show- 
ing many if not all of the twelve characteristic types. Stu- 
dents compete in finding the largest number of Rising 
signs possible to locate in the many and varied types. Chil- 
dren may be read as readily as the fully developed charac-

so prominently in this group of faces. Others are quite as 
well marked if one observes closely the resemblances to the 
normal illustrations and types outlined in the foregoing

POPULAR RESORTS. 

The Beaches afford the most prolific field for the study of 
character at sight. The form and features in all their native 
glory are clearly within the grasp of the observing artist in 
sight delineation. Void of camouflage the nature stands out 
in bold relief and Personality runs riot o'er the sands. 
Study them. Every face becomes interesting; even tho one's 
admiration for some may, now and then, become excessive.

Conventions 



The group of heads shown in Diagram 8, is typical of the 
usual display of features and poses seen in a Chicago con- 
vention — men from all points of the compass. A convention 
is an interesting meeting to the student of character at sight. 
It furnishes an excellent opportunity for close observation 
and study. Pick their signs and note comparisons with the 
profiles of the East.

Parables 

Thought Punctuation 

"As ye sow so shall ye reap." 

"Not one jot or tittle of the law can be set aside; all must 
be fulfilled." 

"I create the good and I create the evil; I, the Lord God, 
do these things." 

"Some possess one talent, some ten talents." 

"To him that hath much, much shall be given; to him that 
hath little, that little that he hath shall be taken from him." 

"God created man in his own image." 

"Seek ye the kingdom of heaven and all else shall be 
added unto you." "The kingdom of heaven is within." 

Therefore, the science of solar magnetics shows that all 
things are perfect. Every human being is a perfect human 
being. The law admits of no error in any manifestation of 
life. Variation, differentiation, and, these times as in all 
times, the "Camouflage" of the "makeup" make for an ex- 
haustive study in all that pertains to Individuality and its 
manifestation in Personality. 

Featural markings, and the so-called disfigurements and 
impediments in functional centers that upset the normal 
activities of the mind and heart, indicate the minor and major 
inequalities and aspects of character. 

Thieves and "Saviors" are brothers of the line in the 
scheme of life. The circumstances of birth, environment, 
education, training and opportunity, enhance either good or 
evil in human nature in accord with the principle of magnetic 
co-ordination. "As the twig is bent so shall it grow." 

The most prepossessing appearance is often but a sheath 
that veils a deep dyed crook; and as often do we find within 
the most grossly hideous and irregular exterior, the man- 
ifestation of a noble soul. 



JUDGING CHARACTER 

In the study of human nature the student should follow 
the lines of constructive thinking and reasoning; he should 
be broad gauge, liberal, charitable, unbiased, kind, forgiving, 
helpful, and, above all, moderate and considerate in forming 
and pronouncing judgment on Individuality and Personality.

SCIENCE OF TEACHING. 

This course is designed to convey some very important facts 
relative to the art of teaching, which it appears very few teachers 
understand. Every child, every student, whatever the age, is so 
differently constituted that a comprehensive understanding of 
underlying causes for these differences is essential to the art or 
science of teaching. A few simple rules for determining by ob- 
servation the nature of each student and how it may be trained 
in the most effective and harmonious way will add much to one's 
efficiency as a teacher. This is the aim of this course.

Speed Up a Bit 



These are times when young men should take an account 
of themselves; young women as well; and find just where 
they can fit in to the best advantage in vocational endeavor. 
Sharp, shrewd and efficient leaders are in great demand. 
Positions are open and more are opening to those who are 
capable to meet requirements. The opportunity is now for 
the ambitious mind, and a little knowledge, such as a per- 
sonal vocational certificate of the law of being affords, 
means a larger grasp of the problem. What am I fitted for, 
best adapted for, and how shall I proceed to get in right 
and make good? This is the problem that confronts every 
young man and woman today. Thirty years of study and 
demonstration of the science of being enables us to impart 
the kind of information that means a better position, a larger 
salary and many other advantages that make for a larger 
field of activity and a much larger measure of success. 

Now is the time to take account of yourself and locate 
yourself for a career that will place you to the fore in busi- 
ness or professional occupation, wherein you can make the 
most of yourself socially, financially and intellectually. Why 
remain at your present salary when you can, with a better 
understanding of your powers and possibilities, command a 
higher position and a larger income? To do so is to become 
dwarfed in business diplomacy — even fall back in the race. 
Our system of vocational selection stands without a rival 
for accuracy and as an inspiration to greater endeavor. 
Ono needs more money, must have it, to meet growing 
expenses. Why not begin now to make a better showing 
for your genius. You may have undeveloped power that 
can be made to serve you well, and, besides, you may have 
an element called Luck that will enable you to take hold 
in a much larger way than you are in the habit of doing, 
with assurance that you can win out. Think this over and 
write now for a personal certificate telling you what you 
can do and how to go about it to obtain a larger income for 
your time and talent. 

It costs but ten dollars to know these important points 
about yourself. You can make a large profit on such in- 
formation — on such an investment. Every person, old or 
young, seeking a position should have this personal knowl- 
edge. It means hundreds, thousands, even hundreds of thou- 
sands in some instances to the one who is thus equipped. 
Now is the time when the demand is calling — calling for 
more efficient help and service. 



The Pyramid and Cube University offers the most far- 
reaching line of study bearing upon human life of any educa- 
tional institution in existence; Truths that the old Colleges 
in their hundreds of years of research have never discovered.

Solar Magnetics 



Solar Magnetics deals with the special dynamic centers or 
bodies within our solar system. It includes all that pertains to 
the operation of Nature's finer magnetic forces and their specific 
effects upon mundane life and phenomena. The subject is treated 
under four separate heads or grades of study, exmplifying the 
principles involved in the occult or hidden manifestation of Astron- 
omy, termed Astrology. As Emerson put it: 

' 'Astrology is Astronomy brought down to earth and applied to 
the affairs of man." 

Those who wish to become proficient in the science of Solar 
Magnetics — Astronomy plus — will find all they are looking for in 
our system of study. 

Primary Course, including Book, Chart, Tables, the basic rules 
of procedure, the reading of character, making out horoscopes, 
etc., with many illustrations, together with six lessons by corre- 
spondence, giving one a firm foundation and an insight into the 
science that enables many to proceed without further instruction. 
Terms, $10.00. 

Advanced Course, including Ormsby's Law and the Prophets' 
text book, Sign, Time and Aspect Chart, and twelve lessons by 
correspondence, advancing one to the position of a professional 
practitioner and teacher. Terms, $25.00. Degree conferred. 

Commercial Special, a course designed to place one in a position 
to direct or advise in matters of financial magnitude and im- 
portance, and impart information such as no other system or 
science affords. Terms, $50.00. 

Physicians and Surgeons course, showing the application of the 
science in Medicine and Surgery, which is considered by some 
physicians the Greatest Revelation of the century to the medical 
world. As one physician puts it: 

"I consider your work to be of greater importance in connection 
with the practice of Medicine and Surgery than anything that has 
ever been accomplished upon the earth." 

Every physician should understand this science. It is basic ti 
all that pertains to the practice of both Medicine and Surgery. 
There is an ancient saying, "Beware of the Doctor who does not 
understand Astrology." The Doctor has lost this science, and we 
are restoring it to him thru this line of study. Terms, $100.00. 
Degree conferred. 



WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS 

"I consider your work to be of greater importance in connection 
with the practice of Medicine and Surgery than anything that has 
ever been accomplished upon the earth." 

P. S. REPDOGDE, M. D. 



"If I could not get another copy of The Daw and The Prophets 
I would not take One Hundred Dollars for my copy. It is ths 
grandest work ever published, and I hope to see the day when 
it will be appreciated by the great mass of mankind, for whose 
benefit it is so admirably adapted."

Something New in 

VIBRATIONS OF HEALTH 

A neat, simple, effective, clarifying system for the restor- 
ation and promotion of Health, is presented in a new work 
by Ormsby, entitled "Vibrations of Health." 

"Better than my college course, " says one man who has 
bought 19 copies of this great book on Health, Physical 
Exercise, Diet, Clothing and other things to insure a Free 
and Easy Circulation and DEFECATION, the two greatest 
comforts in living. 

On reading this book a practicing physician of the Rush 
Medical College quit his business, discarded the entire system 
of that school of medicine and adopted this new system, by 
which he cured himself of serious complications their methods 
failed to conquer. He is now making a great success healing 
the sick. 

The nature of all diseases explained and the proper course 
to pursue in each case to bring about complete restoration 
to health. 

Send today for this Simple Method for the Renewal of 
Young, Fresh, Live Currents within your system. It works 
like magic. It costs but $1.00. No further expense. 

TO MEET THE CALL 
ORMSBY'S NEW BOOK 

Alchemy vs. Chemistry in Agriculture and 
Animal Industry. 

For some years past Agriculturists who have been readers 
of Ormsby's works have urged him to get out a book dealing 
with Agriculture and Animal Industry from the standpoint of 
the PYRAMID AND CUBE UNIVERSITY System of edu- 
cation. __ 

It is a University Agricultural and Animal Industry Course 
in a nutshell, surpassing all other information dealing with 
the many and varied interests of farm life. 

Every farmer will profit much, even into the hundreds and 
possibly into the thousands of dollars, by reading and ob- 
serving the truths enunciated in this book. It places the 
farmer in a position to reap more abundantly for his time and 
labor. 

We know every farmer will prize this work. It comes at 
a time when Knowledge is the important factor in dealing 
with the situation. Theories and speculations at Government 
expense, which is Farmers' expense in the final accounting, 
should be met with knowledge. Price $1.00.

Waful Building, 106 East Dewey, Sapulpa, Okla.

To Whom It May Concern: 

To those who make inquiry concerning the PHYSICIANS' AND 
SURGEONS' COURSE in the PYRAMID-CUBE UNIVERSITY of 
Chicago, I desire to say: I have just finished this course under the 
guidance of the MASTER, F. E. Ormsby, and I find the English 
language inadequate in words to express my appreciation of this 
deep, far-reaching occult, Solar-magnetic Course. 

In these courses put out by the PYRAMID-CUBE UNIVERSITY, 
the whole universe is simplified and man's relation thereto thor- 
oughly explained and readily understood. The Book of Life is 
opened and the knowledge therein contained dispels ignorance as the 
sunlight of the day dispels the darkness of the night. 

The Occult student should be the first to know of this storehouse 
of Wisdom, for on him is placed the burden of proof in making out 
his case in establishing truth. 

What I say here I mean, and I stake my reputation and honor 
upon these remarks. I am in no danger, however, for the learned 
only can take issue with me, but their knowledge precludes any 
disagreement between us. 

Study these courses and see your little world expand until you 
will wonder where our smart men (?) have been all the time. 

Sincerely yours, 

W. G. FAIRCHIDD. 



Good Definition 

ASTROLOGY postulates that life is continuous — that the. present 
life is but one life added to many past lives and that there w r il) 
likewise be many more lives for every human being. 

ASTROLOGY presumes the object of all earthly lives is to acquire 
further experience, knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, to neglect to 
absorb and make use of all possible knowledge is neglecting the 
ONE object of earthly existence. 

The life we are now living is an improvement on the last, and the 
next will be an improvement on this. But, it should be well noted 
that, as the basis of human EVOLUTION is knowledge, the position 
we are given in each life is gauged by our accumulated store of 
knowledge and the use we have made of that knowledge for the 
betterment of self and humanity. 

As at school, so throughout life. By good or bad work, deeds and 
actions, we acquire experience and knowledge which makes for us 
a character or condition that puts us above or below the average of 
humanity on earth as well as in the long spiritual life that inter- 
venes earth lives. It, therefore, behooves us to know as much as w< 
can about ourselves and the universe — to be broad-minded, to look 
up and out, and not take ourselves too seriously. 



A REMARKABLE PROPHECY. 

(Made in the Sixteenth Century.) 

When pictures look alive with movements free, 
When ships like fishes swim below the sea, 
When men outstripping birds can scour the sky, 
Then half the world deep drenched in blood shall be.

THE PATH OF ATTAINMENT 

Houseman Bldg., Grand Rapids, Mich., 7-1-13. 
My Dear Ormsby: — 

I have received and almost finished reading the first six lessons. 

They are without question, the MOST intensely interesting- and 
Inspiring of anything I have EVER read. They are certainly Illu- 
minating to a degree almost beyond conception, and perfectly clear 
and easily understood. 

You certainly have more right to claim Divine inspiration in this 
work, than others to whom such power has been conceded thru 
the ages. 

Every one who reads will be profoundly impressed with the 
truth of the disclosures you have thus given to the world. You 
have built a monument to your name that should prove to be im- 
perishable. 

Wishing that your Great work will meet with the appreciation 
it deserves, I remain, 

Very sincerely yours, 

C. C. COZAD. 



Mt. Washington, Ohio, June 29, 1913. 
Dear Mr. Ormsby: — 

Books, The Path of Attainment received last week. I am reading 
and re-reading all the books. They are a true and simple explana- 
tion of the Bible. Who but you could have studied out and con- 
densed these wonderful and beautiful truths? 

All Nature is exact science. In these books so many seeming 
mysteries are only simple truths, — Knowledge. They are books one 
can read, study and refer to for many years, — for all time. It is 
The School of Natural Science. Jesus taught and lived these 
truths, yet few understand, and you are putting them within 
reach of the masses — clearly and simply. W^ill they accept them? 
Yes. Some now and some later. You are at least a hundred years 
in advance. How wonderful are His works both in Nature and 
human-nature! 

Very truly yours, 

ELIZABETH SUTTON. 



Baroda, Michigan, November 14, '12. 
Dear Mr. Ormsby: — 

I beg to acknowledge receipt of books, The Path of Attainment. 
Permit me to say: I have read many books and several Courses 
on "Occult Phenomena," "Force," "Matter," "Laws of Nature," 
etc., but I have read nothing that approaches your wonderful 
course of reasoning. In my opinion a thorough understanding of 
these wonderful truths would remove the veil of superstit : on and 
ignorance from the minds of people and establish a basis for 
Universal belief, Growth and Attainment May your good work 
progress is the wish of yours truly, C. E. ORMSBY. 



Tn the operation of this University the plan includes, not only 
the extension of its educational features thru correspondence, but

of every family to attend lectures, take courses of study and

your work if it can be brought to their notice. To me it is very 
precious and I want every scrap that ever falls from your pen, 
cost what it may.

F. E. Ormsby: — 

My Dear Sir: — There is so much I want to know, I desire daily 
communication with you that I may drink great draughts of 
knowledge. I am greatly impressed with your position — the stand 
you take — the sacrifice you have made to bring the true knowl- 
edge of life, the one and only law of being before the needful 
world. You will surely be compensated for the time and money 
expended for the good of mankind. 

With hearty good wishes, 

L. P. McLEAN.

CHARACTER AT SIGHT 63 



"The simplicity of your method of illustrating- and teaching- the 
Science of Astronomy and the very clear manner in which you 
present the facts, from both the Geocentric and Heliocentric stand- 
points, has enabled me to see in your work a great future. I 
believe it is the knowledge and the Science that will reconstruct 
the thought of the world. You have my best wishes. 

H. E. BROWN. 

P. E. Ormsby: — 

Dear Sir:— It is with pleasure I write to tell you that from 
my studies of your system for the past year I find it the best 
of all that has come to my notice in the past twenty years, and 
have been enabled to put some very remarkable things before 
the public during the past six months. Your "Planets and People" 
is the finest work that has ever been put in print. Your book 
"The Law of Prophets" is far ahead of anything yet seen by 
man. 

You may use this in any way you see fit over my name, wish- 
ing you much success in the good work.

Logan, Utah, April 2, 1901. 
Dear Mr. Ormsby: — 

It is a pleasure for me to express my sentiments of the results 
attained at the conclusion of this course of twelve lessons in 
Universal Law. I am proud to be one of your students because 
I have received much benefit from the study. I feel a happier 
and better man as I am now able to look upon life as "The Law" 
teaches us. I hope to live in accordance with "The Law" so 
that I may look upon my life as one of success and not of failure, 
and to help others to enjoy like blessings. 

I sincerely thank you for the pleasant experiences and wish 
you success in your great, noble labor. 

Sincerely yours, 

JOHN H. ROSENGREEN. 



Indianapolis, Ind., March 4, 1900. 
My Dear Brother Ormsby: — 

I hope you will pardon me for not writing sooner. How delighted 
I was with the wonderful law and the way its high priests ex- 
pound it I shall not try to say, and I am sure that you know my 
thanks come from my heart. What is a man? What can he 
know and comprehend? What and where is his religion, his 
understanding of all in all, without this sublime knowledge? 
Brother, to me it is the most sacred and highest treasure I ever 
shall aspire to possess — the source of the keenest delight my heart 
shall feel. 

What a wonderful help it shall be for me when I shall enter 
the field of the healing art. * * * The more one penetrates 
the more there must be, for how can we limit the unlimited? 
When vacation comes I shall exchange the books and scalpel with 
the anvil hammer in order to make my tuition for next year. 
I shall then remember you. With my sincerest regards, I am 
yours as ever.

t?4 THE SAGE'S KEY TO 



Personal Application 

Certificates of the law of being are issued by this Univers- 
ity, explaining Personality — the line of business or the pro- 
fession one should choose as a life work. This department 
has placed thousands of persons where they have become 
efficient and successful beyond their most sanguine expecta- 
tions. This information relative to one's personal qualifica- 
tions and how he or she may make the most out of life 
should be in the possession of every person, young and old. It 
shows how to get right in the competitive life of the world. 
These personal certificates may be secured by mail. Particu- 
lars on request. 

Those desiring to study along- these lines should have 
Ormsby's text books, charts, etc., which are furnished with or 
without the regular lessons given in the university courses. 
The simplicity in which the law of causation, the order of 
nature, is treated in these works, enables one to make rapid 
progress in the study of solar magnetics. 

Lists of books, charts, etc., and announcements of Uni- 
versity courses that are carried on by correspondence will 
be sent on request. 

WANTED— LOCAL TEACHERS 

Those who desire to become local teachers and leaders 
will find ample opportunity for lucrative endeavor. They 
should begin now by organizing groups for study with the 
view to having the university located in their home city. 
They should begin their studies and as they advance they 
may begin teaching others and thus grow gradually into 
the University itself. Such a move would greatly enhance 
the building of a University in your midst. Such teachers 
and leaders are in demand. Information relative to such a 
proceeding will be furnished those who contemplate taking 
up the study. Address all communications to 
PYRAMID-CUBE UNIVERSITY

Chicago. 

The world is burdened with gossip and criticism, and peo- 
ple are being condemned and punished because human na- 
ture is such a mystery to the average mind. Children are 
being shackled and dwarfed, many of them for life, by pro- 
ceedings that are criminally outrageous, because there is no 
rational basis in the minds of educators for thought. The 
gifted student is given glory and position at the expense of 
the less favored ones to the discouragement and depression 
of the latter. The child mind is being crammed with all man- 
ner of theories regarding everything that enters into the cur- 
riculum of education.
